A BJP MLA on Friday claimed that some women who had gone to a movie theatre in Maharashtra's Nashik to watch "The Kashmir Files" wearing saffron scarves were asked to deposit the cloth before entering the premises based on an "order from above".

Raising the issue in the state Assembly, Devyani Pharande, the MLA from Nashik Central, asked the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government to explain if such an order had been passed, or else take action against the concerned theatre owner.
